We would like to take this opportunity to give you some information about this city.
Kingston-upon-Hull lies
on the northern bank of the River
Humber
at its junction with the River Hull, 22 mi (35 km) from the North Sea.
Hull was a medieval wool port that passed from the monks of Meaux Abbey
to
Edward I in 1293. For more than 400 years it was the chief shipping
port for the inland waterways converging on the River Humber. Granted
city status in 1897, it is a major national seaport, accommodating large
oceangoing vessels. The medieval part of the city retains a number of
historic buildings; its grammar school was founded in 1486.
